He's an excellent player and I hope the club don't share this common trait that many look at over "filling out". He will of course need to develop physically, and this will happen over time, but that's not something we should use to hold him back. If he gets nudged off the ball a couple of times, he'll soon learn what he needs to work on in order for that to stop happening. And there are ways for him to strengthen without causing long term physical implications. You wouldn't, by looking at them, imagine Silva, Sterling or Wilshere being able to cope physically but all have their ways of coping - and indeed the video of Sterling sending Kompany flying when he was in a Liverpool shirt is testament to being strong v looking strong.
Just to echo Neville Kneville's words, it's fantastic that we're trusting in youth and not using overage players as we could. The fact there are a lot of local/English lads is a huge bonus and positive for the club.
I'm a big fan of this competition as it's a chance to develop some knowledge of different cultures of football and is a great experience for the younger lads, who fly out with the first team. Like many, I'm as excited about the future and hope a lot of these young players get into our first team squad. We're unlikely to see a fully English/Mancunian side but we may well see a "Barca-esque" squad with a core of local lads and then some top talents from England and the rest of the world. It could be a side that wins top honours as well. Many of the players from today can play for the next 3 years at this level which hits home just how well they're performing.

He seems to lean towards the country of his birth:Has Nemane ever got an international call up?
I think he was born in France but raised in England but either way if I was England I would be calling him up.
